Andrew gently grasped her arm, pulling her back to him. He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look him in the eyes. He was quiet for several minutes, then, almost in a whisper, "When do you want to get married?"

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "How could I have made it a surprise? We've already talked about it, and vampires don't...propose in the way humans do. Trust me. You wouldn't want me to do it the vampire way."

Aria felt bad and slowly went after him and tried the door. She sighed once she knew it was locked and went off to her studio to work. She decided two could play that game and locked her doors. (You can skip to whenever )

Aria tensed when she entered it expecting them to be there. She grabbed a snack and left them to it since she didn’t want to bother his work. She knew now that it could get worse. She hadn’t seen his red eyes in a while.

Andrew turned to face her. He studied her, but his emotions were impossible for her to read. "The Council says no, but I say yes. I told you at the beginning I would force nothing on you. I always keep my word."
